#Non regular octagon tessellation full#
$8$ of these turns you are heading in the same direction in which you startedĪnd have made one full revolution of $360^\circ$. Travelling counterclockwise along the octagon. This task could profitably used to foster growth with respect to the standards for mathematical practice: Like its companion ''Tile patterns II: hexagons'', it encourages students to engage in MP2 (reason abstractly and quantitatively) and MP3 (construct viable arguments). Regular pentagons, heptagons, or any other regular polygon will not tile the plane.
While aspects of this task might be used for assessment, the task is ideally suited for instruction purposes as the mathematical content is directly related to, but somewhat exceeds, the content of standard 8.G.5 on sums of angles in triangles. Regular in this instance means that all sides and angles are equal. Their own patterns of polygons which can be used to tile the plane. ''Tiling patterns II: Hexagons.'' Students may be encouraged to develop Regular hexagons are also relatively common are considered in the task In a grid which can be extended as far as desired: Used for covering two dimensional surfaces is squares. Then the $4$Īngles must be right angles and this takes more care to show.
That the regular octagons enclosing the square are congruent. Explore regular tessellations and which polygons can be used to make them Tessellate the plane with non-regular polygons. First, the $4$ sides must be congruent: this comes from the fact There are two steps to the problem, corresponding to the two vital aspects ofĪ square. This task aims at explaining why four regular octagons can be placed around a central square, applying student knowledge of triangles and sums of angles in both triangles and more general polygons. Tiles and tiling patterns are good sources for developing geometric intuition.
